WNYC GALLERINA BLOG

Martin Schoeller, Female Bodybuilders, at Hasted Hunt Kraeutler. In this stark gathering of pictures, the German-born photographer examines a group of women whose physical ideals -- they're all pumped up -- are at odds with the beauty standards set by society. The images are at once garish and tender, and a unique view of women who see their own physiques as on-going works of art. Opens Thursday, in Manhattan.
